Untangling the knots

I had a call from the CHRO and CEO of a Financial Services business recently. Their Executive Team had gotten stuck in the middle of a very difficult conversation, and they urgently needed some support untangling the knots 🧶

We designed a half-day process to allow them to have the conversation they needed to have, so they could move forward with commitment, and clarity, before going into all of the end of year processes. Here's what they had to say about the experience:

“Thank you very much to Cecilie for her recent support with our senior team.

From initial contact, to meetings, to the day itself Cecilie was so supportive and professional. She enabled a senior team to have a ‘safe space’ to open up and have a true support and challenge session.

Cecilie knows exactly how to manage the room. It’s particularly impressive when she knows who to ask to speak next without putting anyone under pressure. The team left the session better off than they started, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cecilie for senior team development. It was a tough crowd and her calm yet probing demeanour ensured everyone participated. Thank you again."

There are few things I enjoy more than helping a team get unstuck and have the difficult but necessary conversations. I consider it such a privilege to be trusted with holding the space and guiding the conversation, and I have immense respect for the leaders who understand that conflict is normal and even necessary, and that learning how to handle it is what takes you from good to great 📈🚀.

From 2-hour crisis management interventions, to two-day team dynamics workshops, my team and I work with you to design a process that suits your team and culture, and gets you the outcomes you're looking for.
